"Gave it all away" as written by and Jasen Rauch....
You're here, trembling with fear
You made it clear
You turned your back and now you've gone astray
Nothing left to say
What's standing in your way?
You had the chance to never walk alone
But you gave it all away
When I needed you to stay
Just open up your arms I need you here
I can do this on my own
I got nothing left to show
Open up your arms I need you here!
Again, lying in your bed
Nightmares is in your head
Facing all that you just threw away
At the edge again
It's coming to an end
You had the chance to never walk alone
But you gave it all away
When I needed you to stay
Just open up your arms I need you here
I can do this on my own
I got nothing left to show
Open up your arms I need you
I need you, here! Here!
I need you, here! Here!
You gave it all away
I needed you to stay
Open up your arms I need you
I can do this on my own
I got nothing left to show
Open up your arms I need you here
But you gave it all away
When I needed you to stay
Just open up your arms I need you here
I can do this on my own
I got nothing left to show
Open up your arms I need you here!
You made it clear
You turned your back and now you've gone astray
Nothing left to say
What's standing in your way?
You had the chance to never walk alone
But you gave it all away
When I needed you to stay
Just open up your arms I need you here
I can do this on my own
I got nothing left to show
Open up your arms I need you here!
Again, lying in your bed
Nightmares is in your head
Facing all that you just threw away
At the edge again
It's coming to an end
You had the chance to never walk alone
But you gave it all away
When I needed you to stay
Just open up your arms I need you here
I can do this on my own
I got nothing left to show
Open up your arms I need you
I need you, here! Here!
I need you, here! Here!
You gave it all away
I needed you to stay
Open up your arms I need you
I can do this on my own
I got nothing left to show
Open up your arms I need you here
But you gave it all away
When I needed you to stay
Just open up your arms I need you here
I can do this on my own
I got nothing left to show
Open up your arms I need you here!

I'll try to take a stab in the dark here;
The singer is singing to a lover, but that lover had to make a choice, to walk alone (maybe for some type of addiction--hence the "You gave it all away" and "And now you've gone astray" parts) or to stay with the singer. The lover had chosen to "walk alone" and the singer is sad at that thought. He says that he needs her with him (maybe because he's also going through some hard times in his life). It also sounds like he's explaining it as a narration;
"Again
Lying in your bed
Nightmares in your head
Facing all that you just threw away
At the edge again
It's coming to an end
You had the chance to
Never walk alone".
This part also sounds like the lover whom had chosen to "walk alone" is having a hard time, has become depressed (to the point that she might be suicidal) and that she was losing him slowly, despite him waiting for her to come back. This could also be vice versa (meaning the roles are switched and it's the guy who choose to walk away instead of the girl).
